The process by which young talents develop to become topclass
players once they reach the age of maximum performance
is influenced by numerous factors. Among the exogenous
factors, the family plays a central role. In the context of
a research project carried out in cooperation with the Swiss
Football Association SFV, 159 former members of the national
youth football team were interviewed retrospectively,
among other things concerning their family circumstances.
The study is interested in understanding two issues: 1) It examines
which family conditions – compared with average
Swiss families – lead to success in adolescence (nomination
for a national youth team). 2) Since success in adolescence by
no means guarantees top-level performance at the age of maximum
performance, the heterogeneity of the sample’s adult
level of performance is used to compare players who later
achieve greater success to the less successful players. It is
found that these players come from families with many children
and a strong affinity to sports. Those players who are
particularly successful at the age of maximum performance
also felt they received more support from their parents and
siblings during childhood and adolescence than the players
who went on to be less successful.
